What is Wisdom Seekers?
“The art of aging gracefully is the art of becoming yourself.”
Looking for meaning and purpose in life?
Wondering what your path is as you age?
Searching for a new retirement identity?
Contemplating who you are and where you fit?
WISDOM SEEKERS provides workshops, discussions, book study, and a forum to discuss these life-changing issues. To age consciously, it’s important to heal the past and face fears about the future in order to live joyfully in the present. Join us to support each other in this vital learning and growing process and pass along our wisdom from a life well-lived.

“The sharing of wisdom is not primarily in terms of what we say or do for the young, but through the persons we have become.”
–Kathleen Fischer, Winter Grace: Spirituality and Aging
******
“Learning to shape and reshape our personal and collective destinies—to pack and repack our bags—is the central lesson of our time. But it is a lesson we all can learn by living passionately for today and purposefully for tomorrow. In doing so, we lighten our loads for the rest of our lives.”
–Richard Leider, Repacking Your Bags: Lighten the Load for the Rest of Your Life
******
“The thing is to neither fear old age or fight it, but accept it without tension and use it.”
– Zalman Schachter-Shalomi, From Age-ing to Sage-ing
******
“As you rethink retirement—or non-retirement—in this changing world, I hope these patterns of transition will invite you to release your identity of the past, acknowledge resistance and learn from it, reclaim old interests and passions, welcome wonder and revelation, sense the right time to act, risk creative newness, and build relationships to give your call form and substance.”
–Marjory Zoet Bankson, Creative Aging: Rethinking Retirement and Non-Retirement in a Changing World
